School Update

Mo has been in pre-k for three days now, and she loves it. well, I guess she loves it. She goes willingly and seems excited in the AM. She will say she likes it, and when push comes to shove, tell you a thing or two about what she did in school, but most of the time when I ask what she did in school, she says, "nothing." Sometimes she will say "I just played." Now I know that is not true. She comes home with crafts and papers, and her teacher told us what her schedule is everyday. They sing; they snack; they do the calendar, etc. But according to Mo, they do nothing. I guess I am just happy she is happy. I can't imagine what she is going to say to me as a teenager when I ask about something; maybe I will get a head nod.

Mags has been visiting her classroom (it is empty) each day. She is genuinely excited and curios for it to start. She practices sitting in the chair where she will have snack. She plays with a few puzzles. She even points out the bathroom where she will go potty. However, last week when I took Mo to class the first day, Mo walked right away and did her thing; Maggie on the other hand, has holding so tightly onto my skirt, I had to remind her that she was coming with me. Maura was staying. So I have my doubts about nest week. We'll see.

B is also warming up quite nicely to the school. Whenever I turn my back, she jets for the next available toy or open doorway to play in. She will climb right up on the chairs and sit with the big kids. She is ready to go. Just a few more months B and you are on your way!!!
